<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Voulgaroktonou, post: 6569033, member: 84047&quot;]Dear Al,</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You&#039;re correct that the Ravenna issues were imitated extensively, a point also mentioned by Kent in RIC X, p. 163. I am no expert in 5th c. gold, but to my eye, the wild and wonderful styles the CNG examples you show bear little similarity to what I think are the much more regular features of the reverse figure, and especially the small victory he holds on my specimen. Kent does attempt to define a chronology for this issue, based on the varying appearance of the Victory and her drapery as well as specific features of the standing emperor. But as I mentioned, I am no expert in this series and would welcome any comments from other CTalkers. It is a project I would like to take on in my retirement (may it come soon!) All best, M.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
